“I had a couple of scouting buddies say, Hey, man, check out the Kansas State tape. And I just watched it just hey, they’re kind of I was hitting them on a couple of players. They were hitting me on a couple of guys. And the Kansas State tape was maybe the best tape I think I’ve ever seen as far as just raw horsepower from a quarterback.
“And I don’t ever call it they want it. But he made some throws in that game that were mind-boggling. And at that point, I became pretty enamoured. And I almost became Ross and I remember vividly doing the shows of both you and Bob Papa. And I watched every single college snap of his final college year usually a breakdown of a guy takes what? “
Four games, I mean, tops. But it was like a guilty pleasure. I had to watch it. And it was a lot of fun to watch. I don’t think any of us and even my buddies that were on the Kansas City Chiefs staff. Prior to him taking over. Nobody really knew exactly what they had.”
“They’re like, this guy might go in there and throw six picks a game, I don’t know. But he’s got some gifts. And sure enough, it’s blossomed into, you know, one of the most impressive starts to an NFL career we’ve ever seen from a guy at the quarterback spot.” –Greg McElroy quipped on Patrick Mahomes during his recent appearance on the Ross Tucker Football Podcast.
